David Dudley Salyer Dead
The sad news of the death of David Dudley Salyer at Chelsen, Okla., came
over the long distance telephone Tuesday, to his cousin Samuel Salyer of
this city.
He died about 12:10 p.m., Tuesday, April 4, 1911 of pneumonia,  aged  40
years. He was the oldest son of R.G. Salyer of this city and was  raised
at Golden, and had lived at Grandview, Ark., and on Shoal Creek, Liberty
township, this county, and about two years ago he traded his farm for  a
stock of merchandise at Chelsea Okla., and moved there and had built  up
a good trade and had made a host of friends. He married Miss Jane Henson
of Golden, with whom he had lived a happy life; to them were born  three
children, one boy and two girls.

Dud as he was familiarly called, was a member of the  Christian  Church,
the Masons and the M.W.A., in which  he  carried  a  $2,000  policy;  he
belonged to the M.W.A. Camp of  Cassville,  and  Clerk  P.E.  Horine  of
Cassville Camp called up the M.W.A., clerk at Chelsea on learning of his
death, and asked that camp to extend  every  possible  courtesy  to  the
family of our deceased neighbor, and no doubt they did.

He was a brother of Mrs. Emma Tucker and Mrs. G.D. Quinn  ,  of  Golden,
and Arthur Sayler of Chelsea Okla. The funeral was conducted at  Chelsea
Okla., Thursday at 3:30 p.m., and the remains were entered there.

He was born at Salyerville, Ky., and came  to  Barry  County,  with  his
father in 1888, and grew to manhood at Golden.

Here in Barry County where Dud was know, he was regarded as being one of
nature's noblemen--an honest man-- his word being his bond.  He  was  an
excellent husband, father and neighbor, are the  attestations  expressed
by his aquaintances, in regard to his merit and high standing as a  man,
since his death, should be consoling to  his  relatives.  Death  had  no
terror to such a man as Dud Salyer. May God of the Universe, watch  over
him, care and direct the footsteps of  his  three  fatherless  children,
through this temptestuos life.
